Film Festivals
I missed out on the Hackney Film Festival, regrettably. Looks like it was a success: http://www.hackneycitizen.co.uk/2010/10/09/hackney-film-festival-makes-the-cut/Currently the BFI London Film Festival has begun, with two films being screened at the Rio on Kingsland Road this weekend. Is anyone going to catch these two films, or any of the other films being screened for the LFF?What other film festivals are coming up to be hip to? It looks as if Rio Cinema will also be playing part-host to the London Turkish Film Festival (http://www.ltff.org.uk/) in November.
